Earlier this week I had the chance to sit down (via Skype) and chat with Trista Sutter. Yes, "that" Trista Sutter. Which is kind of ironic, because I'm fairly certain I've never watched The Bachelor nor The Bachelorette. (I have no reason why, although if they are all like Trista, I would love to watch....) ...

Do your kids like to drink milk? I have 2 kids who love milk. They will drink it all day long if I let them (I don't). But my other child? Not likely. Unless it's flavored, she won't touch it. That's a whole new ball game. MilkSplash is an innovative new milk flavoring that is perfect ...
